Vectra AI Introduces its MCP Server to Deliver Threat Investigations via AI Assistants

New tool empowers security analysts to access threat intelligence instantly through the AI tools they already use

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vectra AI, Inc., the cybersecurity AI company that protects modern networks from modern attacks, today announced Vectra AI MCP Server, a powerful tool that brings seamless, natural language access to the Vectra AI Platform through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Currently available as early access to all customers, with more releases to come soon, this tool allows security teams to engage with the Vectra AI Platform through AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others – turning complex threat investigations into intuitive conversations.

Security operations teams are embracing AI to work faster and more efficiently, but accessing deep security insights remains a technical and time-consuming process. Analysts often struggle with alert fatigue, fragmented toolsets, and complex workflows that delay response and increase risk. By adopting MCP – a fast-growing open standard that enables AI agents to connect with external data and tools – Vectra AI is breaking down those barriers and making expert-level detection and response accessible through a simple prompt.

The Vectra AI MCP Server connects directly to the Vectra AI Platform, enabling analysts and threat hunters to investigate incidents, reconstruct attack timelines, and report on security posture – all through conversational queries. The integration eliminates the need for custom connectors, reduces investigation time, and allows SOC teams to generate context-rich visuals and reports that can be easily shared with leadership. It builds on Vectra AI's core platform strengths and requires no changes to existing deployments.

"As AI-native workflows reshape the way teams investigate and respond to threats, we're committed to making our intelligence available wherever and however our customers work," said Jeff Reed, chief product officer at Vectra AI. "The launch of our MCP Server is a major step in democratizing security expertise – empowering every analyst with instant access to powerful insights through the AI tools they already use."

The Vectra AI MCP Server is currently available as early access for preview customers, with more releases to come soon. To learn more, read the blog.
